Nadin: Hotels and Accommodation

History

The protected group of three hillforts near Nadin comprises Križova glavica, Nadin (Nedinum), and Vijenac.

In the Liburnian period, Nedinum was a hillfort; in Roman times, it was the center of a municipal community.

Nadin is mentioned as early as in the works of the ancient writer Pliny the Elder and on the Peutinger Map (Tabula Peutingeriana).

From 1409 onward, the historical border between Venetian-controlled territory and Croatia ran through the area via Nadin and Gornje Biljane; Nadin was on the Venetian side.

The parish church of Saint Anthony of Padua in Nadin was built in 1878.

The town walls of Nadin bear witness to the area's rich history and to settlement as early as Roman times.

Remains of Roman town walls built from large blocks have been preserved in Nadin.
